FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention is in the field of treating cardiovascular disease, and specifically relates to compounds, compositions and methods for treating atherosclerosis and other coronary artery disease. More particularly, the invention relates to substituted polycyclic aryl and heteroaryl tertiary-heteroalkylamine compounds that inhibit cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), also known as plasma lipid transfer protein-I.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Numerous studies have demonstrated that a low plasma concentration of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is a powerful risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis (Barter and Rye, Atherosclerosis, 121,1-12 (1996)). HDL is one of the major classes of lipoproteins that function in the transport of lipids through the blood. The major lipids found associated with HDL include cholesterol, cholesteryl ester, triglycerides, phospholipids and fatty acids. The other classes of lipoproteins found in the blood are low density lipoprotein (LDL) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL). Since low levels of HDL cholesterol increase the risk of atherosclerosis, methods for elevating plasma HDL cholesterol would be therapeutically beneficial for the treatment of atherosclerosis and other diseases associated with accumulation of lipid in the blood vessels. These diseases include, but are not limited to, coronary heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, and stroke.

Atherosclerosis underlies most coronary artery disease (CAD), a major cause of morbidity and mortality in modern society. High LDL cholesterol (above 180 mg/dl) and low HDL cholesterol (below 35 mg/dl) have been shown to be important contributors to the development of atherosclerosis. Other diseases, such as peripheral vascular disease, stroke, and hypercholesterolaemia are negatively affected by adverse HDL/LDL ratios. Inhibition of CETP by the subject compounds is shown to effectively modify plasma HDL/LDL ratios, and to check the progress and/or formation of these diseases.

CETP is a plasma protein that facilitates the movement of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides between the various lipoproteins in the blood (Tall, J. Lipid Res., 34, 1255-74 (1993)). The movement of cholesteryl ester from HDL to LDL by CETP has the effect of lowering HDL cholesterol. It therefore follows that inhibition of CETP should lead to elevation of plasma HDL cholesterol and lowering of plasma LDL cholesterol, thereby providing a therapeutically beneficial plasma lipid profile (McCarthy, Medicinal Res. Revs., 13, 139-59 (1993); Sitori, Pharmac. Ther., 67,443-47 (1995)). This exact phenomenon was first demonstrated by Swenson etal., (J. Biol. Chem., 264, 14318 (1989)) with the use of a monoclonal antibody that specifically inhibited CETP. In rabbits, the antibody caused an elevation of the plasma HDL cholesterol and a decrease in LDL cholesterol. Son et al. (Biochim. Biophys. Acta 795, 743-480 (1984)), Morton et al. (J. Lipid Res. 35, 836-847 (1994)) and Tollefson etal. (Am. J. Physiol., 255, (Endocrinol. Metab. 18, E894-E902 (1988))) describe proteins from human plasma that inhibit CETP. U.S. Pat. No. 5,519,001, issued to Kushwaha etal., describes a 36 amino acid peptide derived from baboon apo C-1 that inhibits CETP activity. Cho etal. (Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1391,133-144 (1998)) describe a peptide from hog plasma that inhibits human CETP. Bonin etal. (J. Peptide Res., 51, 216-225 (1998)) disclose a decapeptide inhibitor of CETP. A depsipeptide fungal metabolite is disclosed as a CETP inhibitor by Hedge et al. in Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 8, 1277-80 (1998).

There have been several reports of non-peptidic compounds that act as CETP inhibitors. Barrett etal. (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 188, 7863-63 (1996)) and Kuo et al. (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 117, 10629-34 (1995)) describe cyclopropane-containing CETP inhibitors. Pietzonka et al. (Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett, 6, 1951-54 (1996)) describe phosphonate-containing analogs of cholesteryl ester as CETP inhibitors. Coval et al. (Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 5, 605-610 (1995)) describe Wiedendiol-A and -B, and related sesquiterpene compounds as CETP inhibitors. Japanese Patent Application No. 10287662-A describes polycyclic, non-amine containing, polyhydroxylic natural compounds possessing CETP inhibition properties. Lee etal. (J. Antibiotics, 49, 693-96 (1996)) describe CETP inhibitors derived from an insect fungus. Busch et al. (Lipids, 25, 216-220, (1990)) describe cholesteryl acetyl bromide as a CETP inhibitor. Morton and Zilversmit (J. Lipid Res., 35, 836-47 (1982)) describe that p-chloromercuriphenyl sulfonate, p-hydroxymercuribenzoate and ethyl mercurithiosalicylate inhibit CETP. Connolly etal. (Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. 223, 42-47 (1996)) describe other cysteine modification reagents as CETP inhibitors. Xia et al. describe 1,3,5-triazines as CETP inhibitors (Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 6, 919-22 (1996)). Bisgaier et al. (Lipids, 29, 811-8 (1994)) describe 4-phenyl-5-tridecyl-4 H-1,2,4-triazole-thiol as a CETP inhibitor. Oomura et al. disclose non-peptidic tetracyclic and hexacyclic phenols as CETP inhibitors in Japanese Patent Application No. 10287662. In WO Patent Application No. 09914204, Sikorski describes 1,2,4-triazolylthiols useful as chlolesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitors.

Some substituted heteroalkylamine compounds are known. In European Patent Application No. 796846, Schmidt et al. describe 2-aryl-substituted pyridines as cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitors useful as cardiovascular agents. One substitutent at C3 of the pyridine ring can be an hydroxyalkyl group. In European Patent Application No. 801060, Dow and Wright describe heterocyclic derivatives substituted with an aldehyde addition product of an alkylamine to afford 1-hydroxy-1-amines. These are reported to be β3-adrenergic receptor agonists useful for treating diabetes and other disorders. In Great Britain Patent Application No. 2305665, Fisher et al. disclose 3-agonist secondary amino alcohol substituted pyridine derivatives useful for treating several disorders including cholesterol levels and artherosclerotic diseases. In European Patent Application No. 818448, Schmidt et al. describe tetrahydroquinoline derivatives as chlolesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitors.

In WO Patent Application No. 09839299, Muller-Gliemann et al. describe quinoline derivatives as cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitors. U.S. Pat. No. 2,700,686, issued to Dickey and Towne, describes N-(2-haloalkyl-2-hydroxyethyl)amines in which the amine is further substituted with either 1 to 2 aliphatic groups or one aromatic group and one aliphatic group. U.S. Pat.

Also embraced within this invention is a class of pharmaceutical compositions comprising the active compounds of Formula V-H in association with one or more non-toxic, pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers and/or diluents and/or adjuvants (collectively referred to herein as “carrier” materials) and, if desired, other active ingredients. The active compounds of the present invention may be administered by any suitable route, preferably in the form of a pharmaceutical composition adapted to such a route, and in a dose effective for the treatment intended. The active compounds and composition may, for example, be administered orally, intravascularly, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, intramuscularly or topically.

For oral administration, the pharmaceutical composition may be in the form of, for example, a tablet, capsule, suspension or liquid. The pharmaceutical composition is preferably made in the form of a dosage unit containing a particular amount of the active ingredient. Examples of such dosage units are tablets or capsules. The active ingredient may also be administered by injection as a composition wherein, for example, saline, dextrose or water may be used as a suitable carrier.

The amount of therapeutically active compounds which are administered and the dosage regimen for treating a disease condition with the compounds and/or compositions of this invention depends on a variety of factors, including the age, weight, sex and medical condition of the subject, the severity of the disease, the route and frequency of administration, and the particular compound employed, and thus may vary widely.

The pharmaceutical compositions may contain active ingredients in the range of about 0.1 to 2000 mg, and preferably in the range of about 0.5 to 500 mg. A daily dose of about 0.01 to 100 mg/kg body weight, and preferably between about 0.5 and about 20 mg/kg body weight, may be appropriate. The daily dose can be administered in one to four doses per day.

The compounds may be formulated in topical ointment or cream, or as a suppository, containing the active ingredients in a total amount of, for example, 0.075 to 30% w/w, preferably 0.2 to 20% w/w and most preferably 0.4 to 15% w/w. When formulated in an ointment, the active ingredients may be employed with either paraffinic or a water-miscible ointment base. Alternatively, the active ingredients may be formulated in a cream with an oil-in-water cream base. If desired, the aqueous phase of the cream base may include, for example at least 30% w/w of a polyhydric alcohol such as propylene glycol, butane-1,3-diol, mannitol, sorbitol, glycerol, polyethylene glycol and mixtures thereof. The topical formulation may desirably include a compound which enhances absorption or penetration of the active ingredient through the skin or other affected areas. Examples of such dermal penetration enhancers include dimethylsulfoxide and related analogs. The compounds of this invention can also be administered by a transdermal device. Preferably topical administration will be accomplished using a patch either of the reservoir and porous membrane type or of a solid matrix variety. In either case, the active agent is delivered continuously from the reservoir or microcapsules through a membrane into the active agent permeable adhesive, which is in contact with the skin or mucosa of the recipient. If the active agent is absorbed through the skin, a controlled and predetermined flow of the active agent is administered to the recipient. In the case of microcapsules, the encapsulating agent may also function as the membrane.

The oily phase of the emulsions of this invention may be constituted from known ingredients in a known manner. While the phase may comprise merely an emulsifier, it may comprise a mixture of at least one emulsifier with a fat or an oil or with both a fat and an oil. Preferably, a hydrophilic emulsifier is included together with a lipophilic emulsifier which acts as a stabilizer. It is also preferred to include both an oil and a fat. Together, the emulsifier(s) with or without stabilizer(s) make-up the so-called emulsifying wax, and the wax together with the oil and fat make up the so-called emulsifying ointment base which forms the oily dispersed phase of the cream formulations. Emulsifiers and emulsion stabilizers suitable for use in the formulation of the present invention include Tween 60, Span 80, cetostearyl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate, and sodium lauryl sulfate, among others.

The choice of suitable oils or fats for the formulation is based on achieving the desired cosmetic properties, since the solubility of the active compound in most oils likely to be used in pharmaceutical emulsion formulations is very low. Thus, the cream should preferably be a non-greasy, non-staining and washable product with suitable consistency to avoid leakage from tubes or other containers. Straight or branched chain, mono- or dibasic alkyl esters such as di-isoadipate, isocetyl stearate, propylene glycol diester of coconut fatty acids, isopropyl myristate, decyl oleate, isopropyl palmitate, butyl stearate, 2-ethylhexyl palmitate or a blend of branched chain esters may be used. These may be used alone or in combination depending on the properties required. Alternatively, high melting point lipids such as white soft paraffin and/or liquid paraffin or other mineral oils can be used.

For therapeutic purposes, the active compounds of this combination invention are ordinarily combined with one or more adjuvants appropriate to the indicated route of administration. If administered per os, the compounds may be admixed with lactose, sucrose, starch powder, cellulose esters of alkanoic acids, cellulose alkyl esters, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, magnesium oxide, sodium and calcium salts of phosphoric and sulfuric acids, gelatin, acacia gum, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and/or polyvinyl alcohol, and then tableted or encapsulated for convenient administration. Such capsules or tablets may contain a controlled-release formulation as may be provided in a dispersion of active compound in hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose. Formulations for parenteral administration may be in the form of aqueous or non-aqueous isotonic sterile injection solutions or suspensions. These solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders or granules having one or more of the carriers or diluents mentioned for use in the formulations for oral administration. The compounds may be dissolved in water, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethanol, corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, benzyl alcohol, sodium chloride, and/or various buffers. Other adjuvants and modes of administration are well and widely known in the pharmaceutical art.

All mentioned references are incorporated by reference as if here written.

The compounds of the present invention can be synthesized, for example, according to the following procedures of Schemes 1 through 59 below, wherein the substituents are as defined for Formulas V-H, V, VII-H, VII, VII-2, VII-3, VII-4, and Cyclo-VII above except where further noted.

Synthetic Schemes 1 and 2 shows the preparation of compounds of formula XIII (“Generic Secondary Amines”) which are intermediates in the preparation of the compounds of the present invention corresponding to Formula V-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl and Heteroaryl tertiary omegahydroxyalkylamines”), Formula V (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl tertiary omegahydroxyalkylamines”), Formula VII (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl tertiary-2-hydroxyalkylamines”), and Formula VII-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Heteroaryl tertiary-2-hydroxyalkylaraines”) wherein A and Q are independently aryl and heteroaryl. Schemes 1 and 2, taken together, prepare tertiary oxyalkylamine compounds of the present invention by addition of a halogenated, oxygen containing precursor to a secondary amine to introduce an oxy containing alkyl group wherein the two groups making up the secondary amine both are made up of aromatic groups or both groups contain aromatic rings wherein said aromatic rings maybe 0 to 2 aryl rings and 0 to 2 heteroaryl rings.

The “Generic Imine” corresponding to Formula XII can be prepared through dehydration techniques generally known in the art and the preferred technique depending on the nature of “Generic Amine-1” of Formula X by reacting it with the “Generic Carbonyl Compound” of Formula XI. For example, when Z is a covalent bond, methylene, methine substituted with another subsitutent, ethylene, or another subsituent as defined in Formula V-H, the two reactants (X and XI) react by refluxing them in an aprotic solvent, such as hexane, toluene, cyclohexane, benzene, and the like, using a Dean-Stark type trap to remove water. After about 2-8 hours or until the removal of water is complete, the aprotic solvent is removed in vacuo to yield the “Generic Imine” of Formula XII. Alternately, when Z is an oxygen, the “Generic Imine” is an oxime derivative. Oxime type “Generic Imine” compounds are readily prepared from the corresponding O-substituted hydroxylamine and the appropriate aldehyde or ketone type “Generic Carbonyl Compound”. Suitable procedures are described by Shriner, Fuson, and Curtin in The Systematic Indentification of Organic Compounds, 5th Edition, John Wiley & Sons and by Fieser and Fieser in Reagents for Organic Synthesis, Volume 1, John Wiley & Sons, which are incorporated herein by reference. Alternately, when Z is a nitrogen, the “Generic Imine” is a hydrazone derivative. Hydrazone type “Generic Imine” compounds are readily prepared from the corresponding hydrazine and the appropriate aldehyde or ketone type “Generic Carbonyl Compound”. Suitable procedures for forming the hydrazone imines are also described by Shriner, Fuson, and Curtin in The Systematic Indentification of Organic Compounds, 5th Edition, John Wiley & Sons, and by Fieser and Fieser in Reagents for Organic Synthesis, Volume 1, John Wiley & Sons, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Scheme 1 shows the preparation of “Generic Imine” compounds in which the amine functionality is bonded to Z; Z is bonded to A; and Y is bonded to Q. One of skill in the art will recognize that A and Q as defined can be structurally interchanged to prepare “Generic Imine” compounds with similar, identical or different structures.

The “Generic Secondary Amines” of Formula XIII can be prepared from the corresponding “Generic Imine” of Formula XII in several ways.

For example, in one synthetic scheme (Reduction Method-1), which is preferred when Z is a nitrogen, the “Generic Imine” hydrazone of Formula XII is partially or completely dissolved in lower alkanols such as ethanol or like solvent containing sufficient organic acid such as acetic acid or mineral acid such as HCl or sulfuric acid to neutralize the hydrazone as described in WO Patent Application No.9738973, Swiss Patent CH 441366 and U.S. Pat. Nos. 3359316 and 3334017, which are incorporated herein by reference. The resulting mixture is then hydrogenated at 0-100° C., more preferrably 20-50° C., and most preferrably between 20-30° C. and pressures of 10-200 psi hydrogen or more preferrably between 50-70 psi hydrogen in the presence of a noble metal catalyst such as PtO₂. The mixture is cooled, and a base such as sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide added until the solution is neutral to just alkaline (pH 6-8).

Isolation of the desired product can be accomplished, for example, by removing the ethanol, adding water, and extracting the aqueous-organic mixture twice with a solvent, such as diethyl ether or methylene chloride, that is immiscible with water. The combined solvent extract is washed with saturated brine, dried with a drying agent such as anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to yield the “Generic Secondary Amines” hydrazine of Formula XIII. If needed the “Generic Secondary Amines” hydrazine can be further purified by crystallization, distillation at reduced pressure, or liquid chromatography.

In another synthetic scheme (Reduction Method-2), which is preferrred when Z is a single bond or carbon, the “Generic Imine” of Formula XII is slurried in a lower alcohol such as ethanol, methanol or like solvent at 0-10° C. and solid sodium borohydride is added in batches over 5-10 minutes at 0-10° C. with stirring. The reaction mixture is stirred below 10° C. for 30-90 minutes and then is warmed gradually to 15-30° C. After about 1-10 hours, the mixture is cooled and acid is added until the aqueous layer was just acidic (pH 5-7).

Isolation of the desired product can be accomplished, for example, by extracting the aqueous layer twice with a solvent, such as diethyl ether or methylene chloride, that is inmniscible with water. The combined solvent extract is washed with saturated brine, dried with a drying agent such as anhydrous MgSO4, and concentrated in vacuo to yield the “Generic Secondary Amines” amine, aniline, or amine of Formula XIII. If needed the “Generic Secondary Amines” amine, aniline, or amine derivative can be further purified by crystallization, distillation at reduced pressure, or liquid chromatography.

In yet another synthetic scheme (Reduction Method-3), which is preferrred when Z is an oxygen, the “Generic Imine” oxime of Formula XII is slurried in a lower alcohol solvent such methanol or like solvent at 0-10° C. and acidified to a pH less than 4. Solid sodium cyanoborohydride is added in batches over 30-90 minutes at 0-20° C. with stirring and addition of a suitable organic or mineral acid to keep the pH at or below 4. The reaction mixture is stirred and warmed gradually to about 20-25° C. After about 1-10 hours, the mixture is cooled and base added until the mixture was just slightly alkaline.

Isolation of the desired product can be accomplished, for example, by removing the methanol or other low boiling solvent in vacuo. The residue is slurried with water and aqueous-organic mixture is extracted twice with a solvent, such as diethyl ether or methylene chloride, that is immiscible with water. The combined solvent extract is washed with saturated brine, dried with a drying agent such as anhydrous MgSO₄, and concentrated in vacuo to yield the “Generic Secondary Amines” hydroxylamine of Formula XIII. If needed the “Generic Secondary Amines” hydroxylamine can be further purified by crystallization, distillation at reduced pressure, or liquid chromatography.

The “Generic Secondary Amines” of Formula XIII can also be prepared, according to Scheme 1 by two alkylation procedures based on the nucleophilic substitution of bromides by amines. In one procedure, “Generic Amine-1” of Formula X is reacted with “Generic Bromide-1” of Formula XXI. In another alkylation procedure, “Generic Amine-2” of Formula XXII is reacted together with “Generic Bromide-2” of Formula XXIII.

In one synthetic alkylation scheme (Alkylation Method-1), a “Generic Amine-1” of Formula X is reacted with a “Generic Bromide-2” of Formula XXIII as described in Vogel's Textbook of Practical Organic Chemistry, Fifth Edition, 1989, pages 902 to 905 and references cited therein all of which are incorporated herein by reference. In this procedure, the “Generic Amine-1” is placed in a reaction vessel equipped with a reflux condenser with the capability to either cool or heat the vessel as dictated by the reaction. A suitable “Generic Amine-1” will be selected from primary amine and primary aromatic amine classes of compounds. Cooling may be needed and used should the reaction prove strongly exothermic. Heating may be needed and used to drive the reaction to completion. A suitable solvent may also be used to dissolve the “Generic Amine-1”. Suitable solvents are hydrocarbons such as toluene, hexane, xylene, and cyclohexane, ethers, amides such as dimethylformamide, esters such as ethyl acetate, ketones such as acetone, and nitrites such as acetonitrile or mixtures of two or more of these solvents. A suitable base is also added to the reaction vessel. Suitable bases include cesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate. The base will normally be added in at least a stoichmetric quantity compared to the “Generic Amine-1” so as to neutralize liberated acid as it forms.

The “Generic Bromide-1” of Formula XXI is then added to the reaction vessel in portions so as to minimize the rate of heat evolution and minimize the concentration of the “Generic Bromide-1”. The “Generic Bromide-1” will be selected from primary and secondary organic alkyl and substituted alkyl halide compounds. The halide will preferrably be a bromide although iodides and chlorides may also be generally used. One of skill in the art will also be able to readily select and utilize organic alkyl and substituted alkyl compounds containing readily displaceable primary and secondary groups such as tosylates, mesylates, triflates, and the like. Alternately, the halides can be generally prepared from the corresponding alcohols by reaction with, for example, concentrated hydrohalic acids such as HBr or by reaction with phosphorus trihalides such as PBr₃ as described in Fieser and Fieser in Reagents for Organic Synthesis, Volume 1, John Wiley & Sons, which are incorporated herein by reference. The appropriate alcohols can be converted to tosylates, mesylates, and triflates using procedures described below.

Addition of the “Generic Bromide-1” is carried out over a period of a few minutes to several hours at temperatures between 0 and 150° C. Preferrably, the addition will take 30-120 minutes at a temperature of 0 to 50 ° C. The reaction can be stirred until completion. Completion can be monitored, for example, spectroscopically using nuclear magnetic resonance or chromatographically using thin layer, liquid, or gas chromatographic procedures. If the reaction does not proceed to completion, the reactants may be heated until completion is obtained and verified.

Isolation of the desired product can be accomplished, for example, when a water immiscible solvent was used for the reaction, by adding water to the finished reaction. Additional base such as sodium carbonate can be added to ensure the reaction is basic (pH of 9 to 11). The organic layer containing the “Generic Secondary Amine” is washed with saturated brine, dried with a drying agent such as anhydrous MgSO₄, and concentrated in vacuo to yield the “Generic Secondary Amine” amine, aniline, or amine of Formula XIII. If needed the “Generic Secondary Amine” amine, aniline, or amine derivative can be further purified by crystallization, distillation at reduced pressure, or liquid chromatography.

In a second synthetic alkylation scheme (Alkylation Method-2), a “Generic Amine-2” of Formula XXII is reacted with a “Generic Bromide-2”0 of Formula XXIII in a method employing pallladium catalyzed carbon—nitrogen bond formation. Suitable procedures for this conversion are described in Wagaw and Buchwald, J. Org. Chem.(1996), 61, 7240-7241, Wolfe, Wagaw and Buchwald, J. Am. Chem. Soc. (1996), 118, 7215-7216, and Wolfe and Buchwald, Tetrahedron Letters (1997), 38(36), 6359-6362 and references cited therein all of which are incorporated herein by reference. The preferred “Generic Bromide-2” of Formula XXIII are generally aryl bromides, aryl triflates, and heteroaryl bromides.

The “Generic Amine-1” and “Generic Amine-2” amines, hydroxylamines, and hydrazines, the “Generic Carbonyl Compound” aldehydes, ketones, hydrazones, and oximes, and “Generic Bromide-1” and “Generic Bromide-2” halides, tosylates, mesylates, triflates, and precursor alcohols required to prepare the “Generic Secondary Amine” compounds are available from commercial sources, can be prepared by one skilled in the art from published procedures, and/or can be obtained using specific procedures shown in Schemes 42, 43, and 44. Commercial sources include but are not limited to Aldrich Chemical, TCI-America, Lancaster-Synthesis, Oakwood Products, Acros Organics, and Maybridge Chemical. Disclosed procedures for “Generic Amine” amines, hydroxylamines, and hydrazines include Sheradsky and Nov, J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans.1 (1980), (12), 2781-6; Marcoux, Doye, and Buchwald, J. Am. Chem. Soc. (1997), 119, 1053-9; Sternbach and Jamison, Tetrahedron Lett. (1981), 22(35), 3331-4; U.S. Pat. No. 5306718; EP No. 314435; WO No. 9001874; WO No. 9002113; JP No. 05320117; WO No. 9738973; Swiss Patent No. CH 441366; U.S. Pat. Nos. 3359316 and 3334017; and references cited therein which are incorporated herein by reference. Representative specific “Generic Secondary Amine” of Formula XIII compounds useful for the preparation of compounds of the present invention are listed in Tables 3, 4, and 5.

As summarized in the general Scheme 1 and specific descriptions above, Schemes 3, 4, 9, and 10 illustrate the principles of Scheme 1 for the preparation of specifically substituted “Secondary Heteroaryl Amines” (XIIIA-H) having 0 to 2 aryl groups and 0 to 2 aromatic heterocyclyl groups and “Secondary Phenyl Amnines” (XIII-A) having two aryl groups.

Synthetic Scheme 2 shows the preparation of the class of compounds of the present invention corresponding to Formula V-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl and Heteroaryl tertiary omegahydroxyalkylamines”), Formula V (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl tertiary omegahydroxyalkylamines”), Formula VII (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl tertiary-2-hydroxyalkylamines”), and Formula VII-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Heteroaryl tertiary-2-hydroxyalkylamines”) wherein A and Q are independently aryl and heteroaryl.

Derivatives of “Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl and Heteroaryl tertiary omegahydroxyalkylamines” and “Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl tertiary omegahydroxyalkylamines”, wherein A and Q are independently aryl and heteroaryl, in which the hetero atom (—O—) is attached to an alkyl group removed from the amine by three or more carbons are readily prepared by anion chemistry using Method B of Scheme 2. The anion of “Generic Secondary Amine” amines, hydroxylamines, and hydrazines of Formula XIII are readily formed by dissolving the specific amine, hydroxylamine, or hydrazine in an aprotic solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran, toluene, ether, dimethylformamide, and dimethylformamide, under anhydrous conditions. The solution is cooled to a temperature between −78 and 0° C., preferrably between −78 and −60° C. and the anion formed by the addition of at least one equivalent of a strong, aprotic, non-nucleophillic base such as NaH or n-butyllithium under an inert atmosphere for each acidic group present. Maintaining the temperature between −78 and 0° C., preferrably between −78 and −60° C., with suitable cooling, an appropriate alkyl

halide, alkyl benzenesulfonate such as a alkyl tosylate, alkyl mesylate, alkyl triflate or similar alkylating reagent of the general structure,

where M is a readily displaceable group such as chloride, bromide, iodide, tosylate, triflate, and mesylate. After allowing the reaction mixture to warm to room temperature, the reaction product is added to water, neutralized if necessary, and extracted with a water-imrniscible solvent such as diethyl ether or methylene chloride. The combined aprotic solvent extract is washed with saturated brine, dried over drying agent such as anhydrous MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to yield crude Formula V-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl and Heteroaryl tertiary omegahydroxyalkylamines”) and Formula V (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl tertiary omegahydroxyalkylamines”), wherein A and Q are independently aryl and heteroaryl. This material is purified, for example, by eluting through silica gel with 5-40% of a medium polar solvent such as ethyl acetate in a non-polar solvent such as hexanes to yield Formula V-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl and Heteroaryl tertiary omegahydroxyalkylamines”) and Formula V (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl tertiary omegahydroxyalkylamines”). Products are tested for purity by HPLC. If necessary, Formula V-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl and Heteroaryl tertiary omegahydroxyalkylamines”) and Formula V (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl tertiary omegahydroxyalkylamines”) compounds are purified by additional chromatography or recrystallization. Products are structurally confirmed by low and high resolution mass spectrometry and NMR.

A mixture of a “Generic Secondary Amine” amine, hydroxylamine, or hydrazine of Formula XIII and an oxirane of Formula XX are stirred and heated to 40-90° C. for 5 to 48 hours in a tightly capped or contained reaction vessel. A Lewis acid such as ytterbium triflate in acetonmtrile may be added to speed up reaction and improve yield. When a Lewis acid is used, the reaction should be carried out under inert, anhydrous conditions using a blanket of dry nitrogen or argon gas. After cooling to room temperature and testing the reaction mixture for complete reaction by thin layer chromatography or high pressure liquid chromatography (hplc), the reaction product is added to water and extracted with a water immiscible solvent such as diethyl ether or methylene chloride. (Note: If the above analysis indicates that reaction is incomplete, heating should be resumed until complete with the optional addition of more of the oxirane). The combined aprotic solvent extract is washed with saturated brine, dried over drying agent such as anhydrous MgSO₄ and concentrated in vacua to yield crude Formula VII (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl tertiary 2-hydroxyalkylamine”) and Formula VII-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Heteroaryl tertiary-2-hydroxyalkylamine”) compounds. This material is purified by eluting through silica gel with 5-40% of a medium polar solvent such as ethyl acetate in a non-polar solvent such as hexanes to yield the Formula VII (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl tertiary 2-hydroxyalkylamine”) and Formula VII-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Heteroaryl tertiary-2-hydroxyalkylamine”). Products are tested for purity by HPLC. If necessary, the Formula VII (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl tertiary 2-hydroxyalkylamine”) and Formula VII-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Heteroaryl tertiary-2-hydroxyalkylamine”) compounds are purified by additional chromatography or recrystallization. Products are structurally confirmed by low and high resolution mass spectrometry and NMR. Examples of specific Formula VII (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl tertiary 2-hydroxyalkylamine”) compounds prepared are summarized in Example Tables 1 through 54.

Specific Formula VII (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl tertiary 2-heteroalkylamine”) analogs of the “Polycyclic Aryl tertiary-2-hydroxyalkylamine” compounds summarized in Example Tables 1 through 54, wherein the hydroxyl or oxy group are replaced with an amino, substituted amino, aza, or thiol, can be prepared by using the appropriate aziridine reagents or thiirane reagents readily by adapting the procedures in the numerous specific Examples and Schemes disclosed in the present invention. Similarly, intermediates, in which the hydroxyl or oxy group of said intermediates are replaced with an amino, substituted amino, aza, or thiol, can be converted using the numerous specific Examples and Schemes disclosed in the present invention to other Formula VII (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl tertary 2-heteroalkylamine”) analogs of the “Polycyclic Aryl tertiary-2-hydroxyalkylamine” compounds.

As summarized in the general Scheme 2 and specific descriptions above, Schemes 5, 6, 7, and 11 illustrate the principles of Scheme 2 for the preparation of specifically substituted “Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl Tertiary OmegaHydroxyalkylamines” (V) having 2 aryl groups, “Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl and Heteroaryl Tertiary OmegaHydroxyalkylamiines” (V-H) having two aromatic substituents made up of 0 to 2 aryl groups and 0 to 2 aromatic heterocyclyl groups, “Generic Substituted Polycyclic Heteroaryl Tertiary 2-Hydroxyalkylamines” (VII-H) having two aromatic substituents made up of 0 to 2 aryl groups and 0 to 2 aromatic heterocyclyl groups, and “Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl Tertiary 2-Hydroxyalkylamines” (VII) having two aryl groups.

Formula VII (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl tertiary-2-hydroxyalkylamines”) and Formula VII-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Heteroaryl tertiary-2-hydroxyalkylamines”) can further be prepared in an alternate manner to procedures disclosed above and in Schemes 1 to 7 and 9 to 11. Schemes 45 to 50 detail such procedures to prepare tertiary oxyalkylamine compounds of the present invention by initial formation of an halogenated, oxygen containing primary alkylaminie XVL (“Generic Substituted Alkylamine”). Said halogenated, oxygen containing primary alkylamine XVL, formed in Schemes 45 and 48, is itself converted to secondary amines, VLX-H (“Heteroaryl Alkyl Amine) and VLX (“Phenyl Alkyl Amine”), using procedures disclosed above. Primary alkylamine XVL is first reacted with an aldehydic or ketonic carbonyl compound, XI-AH (“Heteroaryl Carbonyl”) and XI-A (“Phenyl Carbonyl”) with azeotropic distillation to form imines, VL-H (“Heteroaryl Imine”) and VL (“Phenyl Imine”). Said imines VL-H and VL are then reduced with or without prior isolation by Reduction Methods 1, 2 or 3 as disclosed above and in Schemes 1, 3, and 9 to yield secondary amines, VLX-H (“Heteroaryl Alkyl Amine) and VLX (“Phenyl Alkyl Amine”). Said secondary amine VLX-H can be converted according to Schemes 46 and 47 to VII-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Heteroaryl Tertiary 2-hydroxyalkylamines”). Using Schemes 49 and 50, VLX can be converted to VII (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Phenyl Tertiary 2-hydroxyalkylamines”). Compounds of this invention in which one aromatic substituent is aryl and the other aromatic substitutent is heteroaryl can be readily prepared by reacting VLX-H with an aryl bromide or aralkyl bromide instead of using an heteroaryl bromide or heteroaralkyl bromide as described in Schemes 46 and 47. Similarly, compounds of this invention in which one aromatic substituent is aryl and the other aromatic substitutent is heteroaryl can be readily prepared by reacting VLX with an heteroaryl bromide or heteroaralkyl bromide instead of using an aryl bromide or aralkyl bromide as described in Schemes 49 and 50.

Formula VII (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl tertiary-2-hydroxyalkylamines”) and Formula VII-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Heteroaryl tertiary-2-hydroxyalkylaminese”) can further be prepared in an alternate manner to procedures disclosed above and in Schemes 1 to 7, 9 to 11, and 45 to 50. Schemes 56, 58, and 59 detail alternate procedures to prepare tertiary oxyalkylamine compounds of the present invention by initial formation of an halogenated, oxygen containing secondary alkylamines VLX and VLXX (“Phenyl Alkylamines”) and VLXX-O (“Phenyl Oxy Alkylamines”). Said secondary alkylamines VLX and VLXX (“Phenyl Alkylamines”) and VLXX-O (“Phenyl Oxy Alkylamines”) can be converted according to Schemes 56, 58 and 59 to VII (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl Tertiary 2-hydroxyalkylamines”) and VII-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Heteroaryl Tertiary 2-hydroxyalkylamines”) by reaction with appropriate aromatic halides such as aryl bromides and heteroaryl bromides as desired.

Formula VII (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl tertiary-2-hydroxyalkylamines”) and Formula VII-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Heteroaryl tertiary-2-hydroxyalkylamines”) can further be prepared in an alternate manner to procedures disclosed above and in Schemes 1 to 7, 9 to 11, to 50, 56, 58, and 59. Scheme 57 details another alternate procedure to prepare tertiary oxyalkylamine compounds of the present invention by reacting secondary amines XIII-A (“Secondary Phenyl Amine”) and XIIIA-H (“Secondary Heteroaryl Amine”) with a diazo ester. The intermediate glycinate tertiary amine can then be reduced, partially reoxidized to an aldehyde, and converted using a perfluoroalkyl trimethylsilyl compound (for example, trifluoromethyl-TMS) to the desired product, VII (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl Tertiary 2-hydroxyalkylamines”) and VII-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Heteroaryl Tertiary 2-hydroxyalkylamines”).

Formula V (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl tertiary-3-hydroxyalkylamines”) and Formula V-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Heteroaryl tertiary-3-hydroxyalkylamines”), in which the halogenated oxy containing alkyl side chain has three carbons between the amine and oxy group, can be prepared in a manner similar to procedures disclosed above and in Schemes 45 to 50. Schemes 30 to 35 detail such procedures to prepare tertiary 3-oxyalkylamine compounds of the present invention by initial formation of an halogenated, oxygen containing primary alkylamine XL (“Generic Substituted Alkylamine”). Said halogenated, oxygen containing primary alkylamine XL, formed in Schemes 30 and 33, is itself converted to secondary amines, LX-H (“Heteroaryl Alkyl Amine) and LX (“Phenyl Alkyl Amine”), using procedures disclosed above. Primary alkylamine XL is first reacted with an aldehydic or ketonic carbonyl compound, XI-AH (“Heteroaryl Carbonyl”) and XI-A (“Phenyl Carbonyl”) with azeotropic distillation to form imines, L-H (“Heteroaryl Imine”) and L (“Phenyl Imine”). Said imines L-H and L are then reduced with or without prior isolation by Reduction Methods 1, 2 or 3 as disclosed above and in Schemes 1, 3, and 9 to yield secondary amines, LX-H (“Heteroaryl Alkyl Amine) and LX (“Phenyl Alkyl Amine”). Said secondary amine LX-H can be converted according to Schemes 31 and 32 to V-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Heteroaryl Tertiary 3-hydroxyalkylamines”). Using Schemes 34 and 35, LX can be converted to V (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Phenyl Tertiary 3-hydroxyalkylamines”). Compounds of this invention in which one aromatic substituent is aryl and the other aromatic substitutent is heteroaryl can be readily prepared by reacting LX-H with an aryl bromide instead of using an heteroaryl bromide as described in Schemes 31 and 32. Similarly, compounds of this invention in which one aromatic substituent is aryl and the other aromatic substitutent is heteroaryl can be readily prepared by reacting LX with an heteroaryl bromide instead of using an aryl bromide as described in Schemes 34 and 35.

A particularly useful procedure to prepare Formula V-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Heteroaryl tertiary-3-hydroxyalkylamines”) and VII-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Heteroaryl Tertiary 2-hydroxyalkylamines”) compounds of the present invention in which the heteroaryl group is directly bonded is disclosed in Schemes 51 to 54. An halogenated, oxygen containing primary alkylamine XVL (“Generic Substituted Alkylamine”) formed in Schemes 45 and 48 is itself converted by reaction with LXXI-AH (“Heteroaryl Halide”) to afford secondary amine VLXX-H (“Heteroaryl Secondary Amine) using procedures disclosed in Scheme 51 and above. VLXX-H is converted to VII-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Phenyl Heteroaryl Tertiary 2-hydroxyalkylamine”) by alkylation chemistry with an aralkyl bromide or aralkyloxyalkyl bromide using either of two procedures disclosed in Scheme 52. Isolation and purification is effected as disclosed previously. An halogenated, oxygen containing primary alkylamine XL (“Generic Substituted Alkylamine”) formed in Schemes 30 and 33 is itself also converted by reaction with LXXI-AH (“Heteroaryl Halide”) to afford secondary amine LXX-H (“Heteroaryl Secondary Amine) using procedures disclosed in Scheme 53 and above. LXX-H is converted to V-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Phenyl Heteroaryl Tertiary 3-hydroxyalkylamine”) by alkylation chemistry disclosed in Scheme 54 and previously and as given above with reference to Scheme 52. Isolation and purification of V-H and VII-H are effected as disclosed previously.

Formula V-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl and Heteroaryl tertiary omegahydroxyalkylamines”), Formula V (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl tertiary omegahydroxyalkylamines”), Formula VII (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl tertiary-2-hydroxyalkylamines”), and Formula VII-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Heteroaryl tertiary-2-hydroxyalkylamines”) can themselves serve as intermediates for conversion to additional compounds of this invention. Compounds of Formula VII and the present invention useful as intermediates include those in which the R₇ position substituent in Formula VII (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl Tertiary 2-hydroxyalkylamine”) is a bromo group, hydroxyl group, sulfhydryl group, bromomethyl or other bromoalkyl groups, nitro group, amino group, methoxy carbonyl or other alkoxy carbonyl groups, cyano group, or acyl groups. Other preferred compounds of Formula VII and the present invention useful as intermediates include those in which the R₁₀ position substituent in Formula VII is a bromo group, hydroxyl group, sulfhydryl group, bromomethyl or other bromoalkyl groups, nitro group, amino group, methoxy carbonyl or other alkoxy carbonyl groups, cyano group, or acyl groups.

The hydroxyl group X, wherein R₁₆ is a hydrogen, of compounds of Formulas V, V-H, VII, and VII-H can be readily converted to ethers. Alkylation to form an ether is readily effected using a suitable alkylating reagent such as an alkyl bromide, alkyl iodide or alkyl sulfonate. The corresponding aralkyl, heteroaralkyl, alkoxyalkyl, aralkyloxyalkyl, and heteroaralkyloxyalkyl bromides, iodides, and sulfonates can also be used. Such reactions are generally carried out using an alkoxide forming reagent such as sodium hydride, potassium t-butoxide, sodium amide, lithium amide, and n-butyl lithium using an inert polar solvent such as DMF, DMSO, THF, and similar, comparable solvents. amine catalyst such as pyridine in an inert solvent. In like manner, compounds of Formulas V, V-H, VII, VII-H, and Cyclo-VII that have at least one hydroxyl group present in the form of an alcohol or phenol can be alkylated to their corresponding ethers. Compounds of Formulas V, V-H, VII, VII-H, and Cyclo-VII that have at least one thiol group present can be converted to the corresponding thioether derivatives analogous to those of alcohols and phenols using the same reagents and comparable reaction conditions. Compounds of Formulas V, V-H, VII, VII-H, and Cyclo-VII that have at least one primary, secondary or tertiary amine group present can be converted to the corresponding quaternary ammonium derivatives. Quaternary ammonium derivatives can be prepared using the appropriate bromides, iodides, and sulfonates analogous to those used with alcohols and phenols. Conditions involve reaction of the amine by warming it with the alkylating reagent with a stoichiometric amount of the amine (i.e., one equivalent with a tertiary amine, two with a secondary, and three with a primary). With primary and secondary amines, two and one equivalents, respectively, of an acid scavenger are used concurrently. Tertiary amines can be preparedfrom the corresponding primary or secondary amine by reductive alkylation with aldehydes and ketones using reduction methods 1, 2, or 3 as shown in Scheme 3. Suitable procedures and methods for preparing these derivatives can be found in House's Modern Synthetic Reactions, W. A. Benjamin, Inc., Shriner, Fuson, and Curtin in The Systematic Indentification of Organic Compounds, 5th Edition, John Wiley & Sons, and Fieser and Fieser in Reagents for Organic Synthesis, Volume 1, John Wiley & Sons.

Formula V-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl and Heteroaryl tertiary omegahydroxyalkylamines”), Formula V (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl tertiary omegahydroxyalkylamines”), Formula VII (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Aryl tertiary-2-hydroxyalkylamines”), Formula VII-H (“Generic Substituted Polycyclic Heteroaryl tertiary-2-hydroxyalkylamines”) and certain other compounds of this invention can be converted, according to Schemes 17 and 18, to the corresponding cyclic derivatives represented by the general designation “Tricyclic tertiary-oxyalkylamines” exmplified by Formula Cyclo-VII (“Substituted Tricyclic Phenyl tertiary-2-oxyalkylamines”). The hydroxyl group X, wherein R₁₆ is a hydrogen of compounds of Formulas V, V-H, VII, and VII-H can be cyclized to corresponding cyclic ethers. Compounds suitable for cyclization will normally have at least one leaving group within 5 to 10 continuous atoms of the hydroxyl group X wherein R₁₆ is a hydrogen. Most preferrably the leaving group will be within 5 to 7 atoms of the hydroxyl group X so as to form a 5 to 7 membered ring heteroatom containing ring. When the leaving group is part of an aromatic ring system, the leaving group will be preferrably in an ortho position. Suitable leaving groups generally include halides, sulfates, sulfonates, trisubsituted amino, disubstituted sulfonium, diazonium, and like, and, in the case of aromatic systems, also includes nitro, alkoxy, aryloxy, heteroaryloxy, and alkylthio. When X-R₁₆ is a thiol, amino, or substituted amino, the corresponding analogous sulfur and nitrogen analogs, Cyclo-VII (“Substituted Tricyclic Phenyl tertiary-2-thioalkylamines and tertiary-2-azaalkylamines”), of Formula Cyclo-VII (“Substituted Tricyclic Phenyl tertiary-2-oxyalkylamines”) can be obtained.

The cyclization reaction to form “Tricyclic tertiary-oxyalkylamines” can be accomplished by aromatic and aliphatic nucleophilic substitution reactions such as those disclosed in March's Advanced Organic Chemistry, 4th Edition, John Wiley & Sons, especially at pages 293-412 and 649-658 and the references cited therein, which are incorporated herein by reference. Hydroxyl containing suitably substituted compounds can be converted to a cyclic analog by heating a suitably substituted compound under anhydrous conditions in a suitable solvent, such as dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidone, tetraglyme, or hexamethylphosphoramide, in the presence of a suitable base such as potassium carbonate, cesium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, potassium tertiary-butoxide, or lithium diisopropylamide. Alternately, sodium amide in anhydrous ammonia solvent can be used. Temperatures in the range of −20° C. to 200° C. can be used for time periods of 30 minutes to more than 24 hours. The preferred temperature can be selected by standard synthetic chemical technique balancing maximum yield, maximum purity, cost, ease of isolation and operation, and time required. Isolation of the “Tricyclic tertiary-oxyalkylamines” can be effected as described above for other tertiary-oxyalkylamines. Representative “Tricyclic tertiary-oxyalkylamines” prepared using the methodology described above are included in Table 8.

3-[(3-phenoxyphenyl) [[3-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)phenyl]methyl]amino]-1,1,1-trifluoro-2-propanol

EX-214A) A solution of 3-(phenoxy)aniline (2.78 g, 15 mmol) and 3-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)benzaldehyde (3.33 g, 15 mmol) was prepared in 60 mL of dichloroethane. Acetic acid (0.92 mL, 16.05 mmol) and solid NaBH(OAc)₃ (4.13 g, 19.5 mmol) were added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours, then acidified with 1 N aqueous HCl. After neutralizing to pH 7.5 with 2.5 N sodium hydroxide, the mixture was extracted with methylene chloride. The organic layer was washed with brine and water, then dried over anhydrous MgSO₄, and evaporated to give 5.00 g (85%) of the desired N-(3-phenoxyphenyl)-[[3-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)-phenyl]methyl]amine product as a brown oil, which was greater than 90% pure by reverse phase HPLC analysis. MS m/z=391.

Amine product EX-214A (3.13 g, 8 mmol) and 3,3,3-trifluoromethyl-1,2-epoxypropane (1.34 g, 12 mmol) were dissolved in 1.5 mL of acetonitrile. Ytterbium (III) trifluoromethanesulfonate (0.25 g, 0.4 mmol) was added, and the stirred solution was warmed to 50° C. for 1 hour under an atmosphere of nitrogen, at which time HPLC analysis indicated that no secondary amine starting material remained. The reaction was quenched with water and extracted with ether. The ether layer was washed with water and brine, then dried over MgSO₄. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate:hexane (1:16) to give 2.85 g (71%) of the desired aminopropanol product as a light amber oil, 99% pure by HPLC analysis. ¹H NMR (CDCl₃) δ 7.30 (m, 3H), 7.27 (t, 1H), 7.20 (m, 3H), 7.02 (s, 1H), 6.96 (m, 2H), 6.48 (dd, 1H), 6.41 (dd, 1H), 6.37 (m, 1H), 5.89 (tt, 1H), 4.64 (ABq, 2H), 4.34 (m, 1H), 3.87 (dd, 1H), 3.55(dd, 1H), 2.41 (bs, 1H). ¹⁹F NMR (CDCl₃) δ −79.3 (d, 3F), −88.6 (m, 2F), −137.2 (dt, 2F).

N-(3-bromophenyl)-N-[2-[[(1,1-dimethylethyl)dimethylsilyl]oxy]-3,3,3-trifluoropropyl]-3-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)-benzenemethanamine

EX-220A) To a 1,2-dichloroethane (30 mL) solution of 3-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)-benzaldehyde (2.00 g, 9.0 mmol) was added 3-bromoaniline (0.98 mL, 9.0 mmol), NaB(OAc)₃H (2.48 g, 11.7 mmol) and acetic acid (0.57 mL, 10 mmol). The cloudy mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with saturated NaHCO₃ and brine, dried (MgSO₄) and evaporated to yield 3.27 g (96%) of the desired N-(3-bromophenyl)-[[3-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)phenyl]methyl]amine product as a brown oil which was used without further purification. MS m/z=377 [M⁺].

EX-220B) To a dichloromethane (9 mL) solution of the EX-220A amine (3.27 g, 8.65 mmol) was added 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,3-epoxypropane (0.968 mL, 11.3 mmol) and Yb(OTf)₃ (0.536 g, 0.86 mmol). The cloudy mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours, then diluted with diethyl ether. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried (MgSO₄) and evaporated to yield 4.20 g (99%) of the desired 3-[(3-bromophenyl)-[[3-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)phenyl]methyl]amino]-1,1,1-trifluoro-2-propanol product as a pale brown oil which can be used without further purification.

Ytterbium (III) trifluoromethanesulfonate (0.25 g, 0.4 mmol) is added, and the stirred solution is warmed to 50° C. under an atmosphere of nitrogen until completion of reaction as is indicated by HPLC analysis showing that no secondary amine starting material remains. The reaction is quenched with water, the pH is adjusted to 9.5 with 2.5 N sodium hydroxide, and it is extracted with ether. The ether layer is washed with water and brine, then is dried over Na₂CO₃. The crude product is purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel with a solvent mixture to give the desired propanediamine product.

BIOASSAYS

CETP Activity In Vitro

ASSAY OF CETP INHIBITION USING PURIFIED COMPONENTS (RECONSTITUTED BUFFER ASSAY)

The ability of compounds to inhibit CETP activity was assessed using an in vitro assay that measured the rate of transfer of radiolabeled cholesteryl ester ([³H]CE) from HDL donor particles to LDL acceptor particles. Details of the assay are provided by Glenn, K. C. et al. (Glenn and Melton, “Quantification of Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP): A) CETP Activity and B) Immunochemical Assay of CETP Protein,” Meth. Enzymol., 263, 339-351 (1996)). Human recombinant CEFP can be obtained from the serum-free conditioned medium of CHO cells transfected with a cDNA for CETP and purified as described by Wang, S. et al. (J. Biol. Chem. 267, 17487-17490 (1992)). To measure CEFP activity, [³H]CE-labeled-HDL, LDL, CETP and assay buffer (50 mM tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, pH 7.4; 150 mM sodium chloride; 2 mM ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid (EDTA); 1% bovine serum albumin) were incubated in a final volume of 200 μL, for 2 hours at 37° C. in 96 well plates. Inhibitors were included in the assay by diluting from a 10 mM DMSO stock solution into 16% (v/v) aqueous DMSO so that the final concentration of inhibitor was 800 μM. The inhibitors were then diluted 1:1 with CETP in assay buffer, and then 25 μL of that solution was mixed with 175 μL of lipoprotein pool for assay. Following incubation, LDL was differentially precipitated by the addition of 50 μL of 1% (w/v) dextran sulfate/0.5 M magnesium chloride, mixed by vortex, and incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes. A potion of the solution (200 μL) was transferred to a filter plate (Millipore). After filtration, the radioactivity present in the precipitated LDL was measured by liquid scintillation counting. Correction for non-specific transfer or precipitation was made by including samples that do not contain CETP. The rate of [³H]CE transfer using this assay was linear with respect to time and CETP concentration, up to 25-30% of [³H]CE transferred.

The potency of test compounds was determined by performing the above described assay in the presence of varying concentrations of the test compounds and determining the concentration required for 50% inhibition of transfer of [³H]CE from HDL to LDL. This value was defined as the IC₅₀. The IC₅₀ values determined from this assay are accurate when the IC₅₀ is greater than 10 nM. In the case where compounds have greater inhibitory potency, accurate measurements of IC₅₀ may be determined using longer incubation times (up to 18 hours) and lower final concentrations of CETP (<50 nM).

Examples of IC₅₀ values determined by these methods are specified in Table 9.

ASSAY OF CEFP INHIBITION IN HUMAN PLASMA

Blood was obtained from healthy volunteers, recruited from the personnel of Monsanto Company, Saint Louis, MO. Blood was collected in tubes containing EDUA (EDTA plasma pool). The EDNA human plasma pool, previously stored at −20° C., was thawed at room temperature and centrifuged for 5 minutes to remove any particulate matter. Tritiated HDL, radiolabeled in the cholesteryl ester moiety ([³H]CE-HDL) as described by Morton and Zilversmit (J. Biol. Chem., 256, 11992-95 (1981)), was added to the plasma to a final concentration of 25 μg/mL cholesterol. Equal volumes (396 μL) of the plasma containing the [³H]CE-HDL were added by pipette into micro tubes (Titertube®, Bio-Rad laboratories, Hercules, Calif.). Inhibitor compounds, dissolved as 20-50 mM stock solutions in DMSO, were serially diluted in DMSO (or an alternative solvent in some cases, such as dimethylformamide or ethanol). Four μL of each of the serial dilutions of inhibitor compounds or DMSO alone were then added to each of the tubes containing plasma (396 μL). After mixing, triplicate aliquots (100 μL) from each plasma tube were then transferred to wells of 96-well round-bottomed polystyrene microtiter plates (Corning, Corning, N.Y.). Plates were sealed with plastic film and incubated at 37° C. for 4 hours. “Test” samples contained plasma with dilutions of inhibitor compounds. “Control” samples contained plasma with DMSO diluted to the same concentration as the test samples, but without inhibitor. “Blank” samples were prepared as “control” samples, but were left in the micro tubes at 4° C. for the 4 hour incubation and were then added to the microtiter wells at the end of the incubation period. VLDL and LDL were precipitated by the addition of 10 μL of precipitating reagent (1% (w/v) dextran sulfate (Dextralip50)/0.5 M magnesium chloride, pH 7.4) to all wells. The wells were mixed on a plate mixer and then incubated at ambient temperature for 10 min. The plates were then centrifuged at 1000×g for 30 min at 10° C. The supernatants (50 μL) from each well were then transferred to Picoplate™ 96 plate wells (Packard, Meriden, Conn.) containing Microscint™-40 (Packard, Meriden, Conn.). The plates were heat-sealed (TopSeal™-P, Packard, Meriden, Conn.) according to the manufacturer's directions and mixed for 30 min. Radioactivity was measured on a microplate scintillation counter (TopCount, Packard, Meriden, Conn.). The maximum percentage transfer in the control wells (% transfer) was determined using the following equation: ${\% \quad {Transfer}} = \frac{\left\lbrack {{dpm}_{blank} - {dpm}_{control}} \right\rbrack \times 100}{{dpm}_{blank}}$

The percentage of transfer relative to the control (% control) was determined in the wells containing inhibitor compounds was determined as follows: ${\% \quad {Control}} = \frac{\left\lbrack {{dpm}_{blank} - {dpm}_{test}} \right\rbrack \times 100}{{dpm}_{blank} - {dpm}_{control}}$

IC₅₀ values were then calculated from plots of % control versus concentration of inhibitor compound. IC₅₀ values were determined as the concentration of inhibitor compound inhibiting transfer of [³H]CE from the supernatant [³H]CE-HDL to the precipitated VLDL and LDL by 50% compared to the transfer obtained in the control wells.

Examples of IC₅₀ values determined by this method are specified in Table 10.
